Today was the date of the “internet black-out” which was a protest of two bills crawling their way through congress right now – SOPA and PIPA (click here for more info). Google, Wikipedia, and many other websites participated in this protest by completely blacking out their websites or along the same lines. I myself blacked out my page for today and I also created a game for sopajam, which is an anti-sopa game compo over at Ludum Dare. After roughly 16 hours, I came up with SOPAOIDS. I took inspiration from bother Asteroids and Sophie Houlden’s Swift*Stitch.
On another note, I’ve been quite MIA from game development lately because of the extra load of course work as well as some personal problems. However, I feel rejuvenated after the sopajam, so I hope to pick up on GRIDNET here soon once I get some more free time. I’ve also started a StatSystem for RPG games or any games that need stats. I created it with FlashPunk in mind, so I suggest you pick that up as well if you plan on using my library. I’ll be adding to it more in the future.
Speaking of which, I really should update my Minecraft plugins and list them on the website as well…
